Enjoy An Evening With American English - A Tribute To The Beatles

The Verona Area Performing Arts Series brings the American English to the Verona PAC at the high school on Feb. 4 at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available at VAPAS.org.

The American English concert performers come to us from Chicagoland. Their performance includes songs covering the entire career of The Beatles from 1963-1970. 

Attention is given to every musical detail, as well as costume changes, vintage instruments and special effects.  American English magically creates "The Complete Beatles Tribute."

They have been voted No. 1 by Beatles fans as winners of sound alike contests. They have won Illinois Entertainer of the Year and have been voted "Best Tribute Band" three of the last four years in the Chicagoland area. They perform both in the states and abroad.

New Business, ScooterCabs, Helps Eliminate Drunk Driving

New Business, ScooterCabs, Helps Eliminate Drunk Driving

ScooterCabs, a local business created by three University of Wisconsin-Madison grads, aims to provide an affordable alternative to taking a taxi home or driving under the influence. 

The service was created as an extra option for patrons that drive out to a bar or restaurant and have a few too many drinks.  The concept is similar to a taxi, except for one fundamental difference; the taxi is now the patron’s own vehicle.  There is no longer a need for patrons to abandon their vehicle at the bar or restaurant to make it home safely.

"With Wisconsin’s high rates of drunk driving, Madison seemed to have a need for this type of service," said owner Justin Sisley, "but even for the majority of people who would make the responsible decision to call a cab, our service provides a much more convenient option for them.  No more waiting around for a friend or cab to take you back to your car in the morning."

Clean Sweep Expands With New Winter Hours

The Clean Sweep Program for recycling household hazardous waste will be open with new winter hours. This is the first such seasonal expansion of the program, according to county officials.

In recognition of this, Dane County Executive Joe Parisi said that "Clean Sweep is a highly successful program that has kept unnecessary and hazardous waste out of the county landfill. We're excited to announce its expansion into the winter months and encourage people can take advantage of it."

Madison mayor Paul Soglin added, “Clearly the generation of hazardous waste is not restricted to one season. I am pleased that the Clean Sweep Program is expanding, as it will not only remove the hazardous materials from our homes but help maintain the integrity of our environment.”

Dane County is trying out a limited winter season during these hours:

Waunakee Beats Oregon 63-47 In Boys' Basketball

Submitted by Channel3000 Web Staff
Tuesday, January 24th, 2012, 8:06am

Last Friday's snow messed up the high school sports schedule. One of the better games postponed last Friday was played Monday, as Waunakee beat Oregon 63-47 in the Badger Conference challenge in boys basketball.

Oregon is a team on the rise. David Solberg led the Panthers with 14 points.

But the Waunakee builds a big lead at home and gets a good win. Joe Tagarelli's led the warriors with 15 points tonight.

Both coaches, Jon Nedelcoff and Dana Mckenzie, along with their staffs, wore suits and sneakers. Many coaches will do that this week as coaches versus cancer raise awareness and funds for the fight against cancer.
